Femme fatale Quote by Gil Brewer

“She looked like a vixen, and that’s what she was; she had all the instincts of a female fox. She was the proverbial predatory female. She had what she wanted, now, and she was content. There was just the getting completely away with it that counted.” quote by Gil Brewer — Download Open image
